Notes for Solomon FUSSELL
Solomon Fussell, son of William and Elizabeth Fussell, was born in Yorkshire, England, 1704, emigrated to Pennsylvania and settled in Philadelphia about 1721; he was a chairmaker by trade, and had his shop in Second Street. His brother, Benjamin, emigrated several years later, came also to
Philadelphia, chanced to see the sign over Solomon's door, and, entering, found that it was his brother. Benjamin went to live in Delaware.
Solomon Fussell married, first, Susanna Coney, daughter of Jacob and Barbara Coney, and granddaughter of William Clinkenbeard, who died about 1753 in his one hundred and fourth year. Besides their son William, who married Sarah Longstreth, Solomon and Susanna Fussell had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Benjamin Dawson, brother of Ann, wife of Bartholomew Longstreth.
(2-6 in the "Dawson Family Record.") Of Elizabeth Dawson the story is told that at the birth of her daughter Susanna, in 1746, William Clinkenbeard, said to his daughter, Barbara Coney, "Arise daughter, go see thy daughter, for thy daughter's daughter hath a daughter."--From record possessed by Martha M. Lewis
